India crosses 80 lakh HPV vaccinations in fight against cervical cancer
Reported byThe New Indian Express ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
India has administered over 8 million doses of HPV vaccine under its National Campaign in the past six months, with Uttar Pradesh leading at 22 lakh vaccinations. Four states (Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram) achieved 100% coverage of identified target populations; Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, and Assam exceeded 90%.
The campaign began February 28, 2026, and offers a single-dose vaccination to 14-year-old girls; cervical cancer prevention typically requires broader immunization coverage across birth cohorts to show population-level impact.
